Important Bus Route Updates for the New School Year
As we prepare for the new school year, we want to thank you for your continued support in helping us provide safe and reliable transportation for our students. We are making a few adjustments to our bus routes to better serve our families and community.
Here are the updates:
Bus 2 - no changes
Bus 3 – This will now be a town route. It will include Harbor Church, Olive Street (from 10th Street south), all town stops east of Highway 66, and will continue to serve Shady Lane. The country portion of Bus 3 will now be served by Buses 6 and 7.
Bus 4 – Will now serve Secondine. There are no changes to pick-up times.
Bus 5 - no changes
Bus 6 – Will continue to serve Bushyhead and will add the country portion south of Highway 66 that was previously on Bus 3.
Bus 7 – Will continue to serve the Bowlin's Springs and Catale areas and will add the country portion on N/S 4310 that was previously on Bus 3.
📌 Important Note for New Riders on Buses 6 & 7:
Please call the Transportation Director at the High School to receive your new pick-up and drop-off times.
We kindly ask for your patience and understanding as these new routes are put into place. Adjustments to times may be necessary during the first days of school as drivers become familiar with the changes.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your student’s school site or contact the Transportation Director. Together, we can make sure every student starts and ends their school day safely.
Thank you for your cooperation and support!

Oklahoma has adopted a mandatory statewide policy requiring all schools to be bell-to-bell, no-cell. In response, a team of our staff worked together to create a thoughtful Cell Phone Policy that keeps student success at the center of every decision. Through research and meaningful conversations, we’ve heard encouraging feedback from schools already using similar policies, and the results have been inspiring. We’re eager to see the incredible benefits this approach can bring to our own classrooms. Stories like the one in this video make us even more excited for the possibilities this school year holds!
Here’s what you can expect:
✅ Individual, secure storage will be provided for each student’s phone during the school day.
✅ Clear guidelines designed to reduce distractions and support a positive learning environment.
✅ A dedicated page on our school website with everything you need to know will be coming soon!
Stay tuned for more updates...and get ready to Log Off & Learn!

It's about that time again to start school!!! CHS will be doing schedule pickup on Wednesday August 13th from 9-12 & 1-3. Students may come pick up their schedules in the HS office.


Hope everyone is having a great summer. Just wanted to send a reminder to parents and fellow students: Summer Band Camp will be hosted August 4th - 15th except weekends. Each rehearsal will be from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM students will need to come to practice unless spoken to prior to practice with Mr. Paul. We both understand it is still summer time, vacations have been planned, things come up, but we do ask that communication is given so we can stay up to date with your students. Some days of summer Band will be dedicated to certain sections of the Band.
Attached is a list of this each student will need to bring for summer rehearsal. Summer Band Camp will be both fun and challenging but we are looking forward to seeing all of the students and having a great school year! I highly recommend that parents get involved we could always use your help. Especially because this upcoming school year we are trying to have an end of the year school trip. This will mean we will need chaperones, to fundraise, and cultivate an atmosphere of success both on the student and parent side.
With Admiration and Trust
- Gary Paul
